How the West was won

"When Malaysia’s deputy
minister for international trade and industry, Ong Kian Ming, toured a
Huawei training centre in Cyberjaya this week, the vibe was more
“humdrum public relations opportunity” than it was “visit of epochal
significance in a battle of East and West”.

Followed
around by an entourage of interns, the minister gamely engaged in all
the classic press conference moves: making small talk with trainees,
commending the Chinese company for investing in his country and waxing
lyrical about the coming 5G internet revolution.

There
was ample time for snacks, a chat with Huawei Malaysia CEO Michael Yuan
– in Mandarin, naturally – and, of course, the obligatory photo op full
of smiling faces and raised thumbs....

(Sense how sour is the above remarks by a Meaghan Tobin post in SCMP? And she continued with the real pain...)

Yet half the world away in Washington’s corridors of power, it’s hard to imagine there were anything but grimaces.

Malaysia
is just the latest in a string of Southeast Asian nations to have
welcomed the world’s largest telecommunications company with open arms,
flying in the face of warnings from the United States that doing so will
leave their most highly classified secrets vulnerable to Chinese spies....

But
in Southeast Asia, where Huawei estimates there will be 80 million
customers within the next year and US$1.2 trillion of business
opportunities over the next five years, Washington’s fears have had
little impact.

Thailand
hopes to roll out a Huawei-led 5G service by 2020 and is already
carrying out joint research with the firm in its hi-tech Sriracha
district; Singapore’s M1 service, Malaysia’s Maxis and Indonesia’s
Telkomsel have all signed up to trial services with the company; and in
the Philippines, a Huawei-backed service is to be introduced by the
leading wireless provider Globe Telecom as soon as the second quarter of
this year."

The above article in the SCMP told a story of the fear in Washington and its anti China allies of Huawei's 5G technology. To stamp China's march and charge into futuristic technology, the US is trying its damn best in the most clumsy way to strike fear across the world that Huawei is dangerous and cannot be trusted. And they kept uttering that no one trust China and would not use Huawei.

The truth is that no one is bothered by the nonsense coming out of Washington. Asia and Europe and SE Asia are embracing 5G technology without sleep. They are not going to be left behind and 5G is the only way to leap frog the Americans and the West in the game of technology competition. With 5G, Asia and SE Asia, including Europe, are going to conquer the USA and leave the Americans behind. 20 years down the road, Asia and SE Asia will be proudly telling the world how the West was won, how the Americans were left behind as a sore loser, by not willing to embrace 5G but unable to develop their own to compete with Huawei and the rest of Asia, SE Asia and interestingly Europe.

The Make America Great Again slogan is a march backward when the rest of the world are running forward. A generation down the road, scholars would be asking, who defeated the American Empire? How did the USA become a backward country?

Complete and utter nonsense lah. Amongst the "political elite" of the world, they HATE Trump because he's upset generations of "privilege". But the average Joe & Jane Blow tend to love Trump, cos' he says the things they themselves are not allowed to say for fear of being branded "non-PC".

For e.g.: Trump is critical about immigration from "shithole cuntries". Many average people hate their own govts' policies about immigration, but their complaints are either taken as a form of "seditious speech" or fall on deaf ears.

For starters, it'll be MORE than just "one genertion". America is Too Big To Fail---for the moment at least. For several reasons:

1) it can print US dollars and borrow money in it's own currency---the "king" currency of the world

2) Other "shithole cuntries" must borrow in USDs because if they don't, no one will lend them any money. For e.g.: who is going to lend India money if the loan is denominated in shithole Rupees? No, for India to get loans it has to borrow in USDs because lenders "trust" USDs and mistrust shithole rupees.

3) US Treasuries are the safest debt, and its a huge LIQUID market.

4) USA maintains military supremacy...not because of hardware or personnel, but because it has BASES all over the fucking world...i.e. the US military is already In our backyards whether they were invited or not. By doing so they have setup their logistics and supply chains, they strategies for rapid deployment etc etc. Even if China and Russia beat the USA at the HARDWARE game (which I doubt they will), they still don't have bases all oer the world in strategic places.

5) When America finally does fail, and collapse...maybe not totally but by a significant amount, it'll come FROM WITHIN, not from a more superior "external" power. It is unlikely that either Russia or China will instigate any hostility against America, or vice versa. America will end itself because of the change in cultural values...from the admirable "thrift, hard work, innovation and brotherhood" to "overconsumption, under production, mounting debt, selfish entitlement, LAZINESS"...an everything else which is fucked up and ugly about modern western culture.

One PAP IB predicted that PSP will get 85% vote in the coming GE. May be it's true or may be he cock-up?Too careless in his typing. Never ownself check ownself. This is how ownself check ownself can go wrong. "A" becomes "S", and "Ass" becomes "Ace". That's why there are so many Asses in the Papa-Lee-Men talking cock.

Chancesof the US imploding is highly probable if the Global Community becomes less intimidated and also less friendly with it.TheAmericans have been living lavishly from huge profit made from arm sales and borrowed money. lt prints money like printing brochure.Asthe World sees through the Ruse of the US and with rising powers like China, Russia, North Korea,lran and maybe lndia and lndonesia soon, the Americans could lose its clout and wanes in oits influence.

Allsigns point to an withering US,which is in converse with the rest of the World.lmplosion of the US cannot be ruled out.lt is a question of how soon it shall happen.

If you watch the videos of the building of ports, airports, train stations, dams, highways, high speed rails, undersea tunnels and mega bridges over miles of open sea, you cannot feel but impressed by the progress of China. Not only in China itself, but all over the world.

Again, if you watch the videos of technological prowess of the Chinese entrepreneurs, in AI, aviation, space exploration, missile technology, telecommunication equipment, automation of ports, airports, factories and high speed rail construction etc, you will be awed.

All that talk about China stealing US tech is overhype. Most technical innovation, if I am not mistaken, can be copied by reversed engineering. There are also innovations that the US do not have at all, which they will claim is stolen from them. Taken literally, since it is stolen from the US, so the US does not have it now. How ridiculous can it really be!

Take the space station, which is done by the Chinese themselves. The US will maybe claim the technology was stolen from them. How in the world could China have stolen that technology when China is barred from participating in their space station program?

For the world to distance itself from US hegemony, the very first step is less reliant on oil and other fossil fuel. That will make the US Dollar less valuable and less in demand in the oil trade, which it depended on. That would be the first nail in the coffin of free printing of fist money by the US from thin air to buy all the goods produced by the rest of the world.

This is the greatest fear of the US when it comes to clean energy, like electric cars, wind turbines, solar panels and anything that moves that depended on fossil fuel. That is why there is so much effort and fear mongering by the US to kill off electric vehicles, wind turbines and the solar panel market with all kinds of fear manufactured in association with such technology. Trump even warned Americans about buying electric vehicles, while his take on wind turbines can only come out of his CB mouth.

OPPO 5G technology:- free $5K per month just show pink IC- no NS- foreigners do work & NS- just focus on playing with kids, go holidays, chit chat with parents- free HDB- free annual holiday to Disneyland or equivalent cost

Matilar, not say I wanted to say you. Your argument against RB is totally nonsense and without substance. In view of your incest background, may be it has affect your logical thinking ability. I just think that you need to be sodomized to wake up.😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

The west is losing because of offshoring. The capitalists are so greedy that they are willing to trade in trade secrets for more markets. The west must ban offshoring and tax those capitalists sky high to punish them and close the technology gap that was lost.

The West, USA in particular is still winning big time. We are communicating in English in this website, our children n all over the world still listening to ang moh pop singers, dancing to their tunes, USD remains sole global currency, USA warships suka suka can park anywhere. China still producing cheap goods though very high quality to serve lazy US consumers. You tell me who is King?
